Hello, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Executive Board for allowing me to serve you as your County President. I am looking forward to working with you and for you for the next two years. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have been a member of the Yuba Homemakers for over 10 years. I have served as Yuba Homemakers Secretary, Vice President, and President. It has been an amazing journey with a wonderful, fun group of women, who are dedicated to making a difference in this world. I am married with 5 grown children and 9 wonderful grandchildren. I live in scenic Champion Valley, just outside of Yuba, on a small hobby farm. I love to cook, sew, and quilt. Although I am a transplant from Texas, I have been in Wisconsin for 18 years. I am retired now and have the time required to learn this new job. I really enjoy planning dinners, working to help raise money for charities such as HOPE in Hillsboro. I help every year with the kids to make a vest during Cesky Den, which is sponsored by the Yuba Homemakers. I like to work the food booth at the HOPE walk with other homemakers to help raise money for this charity. I planned the 1st Yuba Homemakers Luau Picnic which was unforgettable and a lot of fun. I am looking forward to working with all of you and promise to fill Bonnie’s shoes, which will be hard to do! I would like to thank Bonnie for all the time and dedication she has put into our organization. She has done an Amazing job!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sincerely,

Yvonne Chapman President

Hello everyone,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I enjoyed having a white Christmas and (for the first time in a long time) not having to drive anywhere! Looking back, 2016 was a busy year.

I have now completed 2 years at UW-Extension as your Family Living Agent, so maybe I am hitting my stride? My uncertainty is because the community is always changing and Extension is tasked with responding to the changes. In 2016, I had new partnerships with A Child’s Place homeless shelter, the Foodshare Employment and Training Class, and the UW-Richland dormitories to offer financial education at these venues.

I took on a leadership role with the Small Savings Build Big Dreams (college savings) statewide team and authored several newsletters, fact sheets, etc. on the topic, including a lecture aired on Wisconsin Public Television’s University Place. My connection to university resources helped Richland County when I worked with Richland FIT (Fitness in Total) and the HAWCs (Health Assessment and Wellness Commission) on the Community Health Needs Assessment.

I offered 3 sessions of Raising a Thinking Child for parents of children ages 4-7, and I learned from each experience. Food preservation education was expanded to include hands-on classes on “tomatoes/salsa” and “pickles/relish,” as well as “Food Preservation for Holiday Gifts.” And, of course, I helped organize the annual Get Real! financial reality day for area high schools, now scheduled for its 12

th anniversary edition on March

22nd

, 2017.

Through it all, it has been strengthening to know the good work that HCE is doing, both statewide and in all of your local projects. I look forward to assisting with the statewide convention to be held in Wisconsin Dells this year and the Southwest District meeting, which it is Richland’s turn to host in Fall 2017. I look forward to learning more about you and HCE this year, so don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

Wishing all of you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

PS—My son Donnie is now 18 months. He is quick on his feet and loves goofing around. Mom & Dad are exhausted, but that is normal, right?
